Practising your mountain bike skills on the street can be a great way to get out for a short session without having to travel to trails. It's also the perfect environment to develop techniques such as track standing, drops, cornering and wheel lifts, so that next time you hit the trails you'll feel the benefit.

Perfecting your technique on drops is one of the best ways to improve your confidence, especially for trails you've never ridden before. Start small and work your way up.
Track stands require a bit more finesse on an e-bike because of the motor's willingness to engage, and will not only help with changing direction on tight trails, but will help with your slow speed balance and confidence.
Finding a tight and flat corner to ride multiple times might seem repetitive, but is an aspect of mountain bike technique which you'll actually be able to feel your improvement.
With the added weight of an EMTB and the additional structure of the motor on the downtube, lifting the wheels an be challenging. Try it in a low power mode and over exaggerate your body movement.
The same principle applies for hopping sideways, mastering this will allow you to jump around obstacles and ruts at will.
Session these skills with your friends for super charged fun ⚡️
